Default 66 days in

Groundhogs Day 2018 was Feb 2. He saw his shadow and said 6 more weeks of winter. Yesterday was April 8. 66 days past. Or 9 weeks and 3 days. 9 inches of snow yesterday. Making for the 3rd week in a row we have had a 3" or more and they are predicting another one this weekend that could be large again.

I say next year when they ****** that fat little rat out his hole, instead of checking for his shadow, we should slap him with a nice dry rub and bbq him.

Spring started about 2 months ago down here and we're rounding the corner to summer!

Something to be said about South Florida! We're into a dog and beer down here now that baseball season has begun!!

Just looked at the extended forecast here. Beside two days this week of average temps, the rest of April looks to be below average barely getting to the mid 40's most days.
